Welcome back Melisandre.

I've not ventured into Bedworth for years, that was very entertaining. - Thank you.

Charity dock is rather an interesting place. I think I recognised one of the boats there.

Thank you Rebbonk I am pleased you recognise one of the boats at Charity Dock

Past and present

Another good one.

Thanks Melisandre

Your welcome Dutchman.

Yes Melisandre. I well remember Bedworth in the 50s. In my opinion they took the heart and soul out of the town when it was modernised.I had several good friends in Bedworth. The image of the hat factory. Later that became Clear Hooters that made car horns, known locally as the Snuff Factory. met Larry Grayson AKA Billy Brown in a Bedworth pub, a very likable man. I don't know if he was gay or was that just a part of his act? He certainly didn't show that off stage. Slack Alice and Apricot Lill worked in the jam factory where Larry worked but I cannot recall a jam factory in Nuneaton but suppose that it must have existed.

Moorhouses Jam IIRC Jock. Seymour Rd?

I think it was Billy Breen, not Brown. - At least that's what I remember my mum telling me. - She always thought he was gay.
